Liars. I have noticed some food products labled 'sugar free' that have corn syrup as an ingredient.

Corn syrup is 45-55% glucose...a monosaccharide SUGAR. I am now investigating the FDA on false labeling. Is the FDA being controlled by the corn growers lobbyists? I'm serious folks.

    Sometimes you see an ingredient listed as cellulose which actually means sawdust or wood shavings.

    Yeah...they are harmless and actually provide fiber. Sugar is another story.

    Harmless long as one does not get slivers in some awkward place.

    Maybe it's a magical sugarless corn syrup.

    Double check.  I never see "sugar free" on products anymore; it's been replaced with "no sugar added."  Those are very different claims. This post was edited by Thriftymaid at April 1, 2018 5:24 PM MDT
